Trump’s Re-Election Clear as Mud

Brutal assassination of Quds Forces Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and his comrades has inflicted such a disaster that no other U.S. President had experienced it before. There is no media in the world or even in all 52 states of the U.S. which has not criticized or derided Trump’s decision to assassinate Martyr Soleimani.

Since January 3 when this crime happened at Baghdad Airport till now, this criticism and derision have continued and it is estimated over one billion critical and derisive items have been published or gone viral in the media or in the virtual media in forms of article, interview, tweets, clips or SMS.

During his presidential campaigns, Trump had promised not to drag the U.S. into any war but with this unwise act which was led and announced by him, he wanted to have a winning card for his upcoming election but the world people by honoring and commemorating Martyr Soleimani, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and their comrades made a hell out of it, and rain of retaliatory missiles on Ain-Assad Airbase from Friday till Wednesday made not only the White House but also the whole world hegemony tremble.

Some comic and satirical programs against Trump which were made are indicator of Americans’ fear. That Americans like cowboys try to dictate on the whole world whatever strikes their minds is a bad sign. Global scene has turned into an anarchic scene. Of course it does not mean that there is no order or patterned behavior in the international structure but it means these laws are not administered under a real system and without domination of world powers which did not respect international interests of humans on the earth and they rule the world. So powerful countries can easily use threat and war as tools for their foreign policies and attack at one or more countries, and there is no body powerful enough to protect political and legal interests of all the world in order to protect countries from the anarchic shadow of economic and military powers.

So it is crystal clear that in such a world, whatever a country becomes stronger in terms of military regarding to other countries, it will boost security, pride, aggression and threat. So although it is painful, we should accept that to save the international scene from moving towards anarchy, the only guarantee for its materialization is to have enough power to defend itself and to respond to attacks and this is the only solution that countries can defend themselves against aggressions with appropriate responses.

The IRGC’s slap and the kind of the Americans’ reaction once again proved that relations are defined in the world based on power and not the diplomacy because ruling laws for diplomacy, international agreements and even conventions all follow the system of power and not international agreements.

It is crystal clear that in the past years, pro-West officials in the Islamic Republic of Iran’s administrative and legislative branches with employing clandestine methods refrained from confessing that to administering the country there is no way but to be solved in the big powers and they claimed they know the language of the world and the result of their management was nothing but to accept colonialist and loss-making agreements like the JCPOA and FATF.

But this tragic and painful event which led to the martyrdom of national hero of Iran, reaction of Iranian nation for revenge, brave reaction of the IRGC to the U.S., and Trump’s mean reaction has proved what is ruling on the international relations. Today the U.S. seems more disabled than ever in the eyes of the nations and it seems the 2020 U.S. presidential election would be fully eclipsed by this event.
